Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 03:29 am I remember in the 90's as a boy there was a box on my dealer that was 5.98+ spot which wasn't a lot back then. I told my dad I should be buying them but no State Quarter rolls would be popular according to a guy he knew at work. Thanks a lot dad haha. So a great deal of my coin money went towards that and I never actually got to go to the shop to pick up the rolls which was the best part. For like 16 quarters until I lost complete interest in collecting for 15 years lol. Though part of that was girls and college haha.

Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 10:30 am I can remember in 1993 picking up 40 BU Morgans for $500. That was a good price because they were going for about $14.50 a piece. That's back when silver was around $4 an ounce. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 9:43 pm Stories like these always remind me of when I was a kid. My Dad used to give me my allowance in Silver Dollars. They were common then and I spent them as fast as I got them. Never thought that someday people would collect them. Why would they since they were everywhere and just as common as Walking Liberty half dollars. Why back when I was a kid you could get thousands of Morgan dollars for face.

See the blurb on the front cover, these are the BUYING prices of a dealer given to the unknowledgeable general public. As such they are probably well below what the actual values were for the coins. (CDN in 1963 didn't list an XF 93-s. but an Unc was $850.) Edited by Conder101 04/27/2015 11:59 am Report this Post to the Staff
